U.S. Jobs Report: 288,000 Positions Added Unemployment Falls to 6.1%

The economy is starting to show life, like on all cylinders. Slowly higher paying jobs and manufacturing are finally on a slightly uptick.U.S. Jobs Report

Dow blows through 17k at all time highs, autos are selling like hotcakes....

So what about Obama? I thought he was sinking the ship and making a mess of things locally and abroad?

Sounds like another Clinton boom is happening before our eyes.

It's definitely not the same as when Clinton was in office with how divided it is on Capital hill. Just think of the possibilities if Obama could reach out to both parties and get things done like Clinton.

For now, we play the divided game but take away that, we are rolling and the gears are slowly kicking into 4th.

Hows under employment looking? How many people still aren't factored into that unemployment number since they've flat out given up? Hows inflation looking? Fact is, the economy is starting to look better, the question is, what took so long? Making this out like its roses is crazy though, there are plenty of people predicting a strong stock market correction is coming.

^True, but as I mentioned in my thread open, those higher paying jobs including manufacturing are showing signs of life. I do know there is a disconnect in the labor participation rate, but I am finally buying in that the conditions are ripe for further growth.

Sure, there is a strong correction coming, there always is, but that will be a very healthy thing since its been on a tear for a while without much of a real pull back. That's how bull markets work though, its an easy trade for now.

Yea, this is going to be interesting in years to come on how he fairs in his legacy or lack there of.

^^^Very true, and the wage increases (2.2%) have barely kept up with the mild inflation rate.

However, the he number of Americans working part-time for economic reasons has declined 7.9% over the last year.

Alex daOriginal:6.1 isn't the actual unemployment numbers... there's many who just dropped off complete and are no longer counted.

Well its the widely used method, there will always be the % that aren't looking for jobs anymore that aren't counted.

It includes the unemployed,(-1) add in employed workers, marginally attached workers plus those employed part time. It includes temporary help services, food service and bars.

That's how its been for years.

We do know like I said, the bright spots are showing up in small numbers, like manufacturing, higher paying skilled jobs, and the participation rate is better then last year at this time by 7.9%..probably needs to be seasonally adjusted because of the crazy winter we had.

Badstang5.0L:It was a joke as the Obama administration still blames Bush for everyone bad even to this day.

Well, as the leader of the liberal agenda, to not take any responsibility is a necessity.
